For several days, Zhang Li and the other two people submitted their resumes online while continuing to visit various talent markets. Lu Shanmin continued to look for his prey in the alleys of Minsheng West Road. However, the situation was similar to the first day. None of the four people found it.
Find a job. Seeing that the living expenses of 3,000 yuan are decreasing day by day, the atmosphere in the rental house is becoming more and more bleak and depressing. Everyone knows that if this situation continues, everyone will starve to death before they can find a job.
The old city area of Minsheng West Road is both big and small. After a few days of careful exploration, these alleys are almost familiar.
When looking for a job, Lu Shanmin also learned lessons. When people asked him what he could do, he no longer foolishly said that he knew how to hunt. Instead, he said that he was strong and able to endure hardships and stand hard work. Although he still did not find a job, it was obvious that he could
I felt that compared to the previous times when I said I knew how to hunt, my words now would not make those bosses look particularly surprised.
Today's target was a barbecue restaurant. Lu Shanmin did not rush over, but stood opposite the store and observed carefully. There were no customers at the 'Midnight Barbecue Restaurant' at the moment, and it would be until the evening that there would be customers. The store is not big, and the store
There were two barbecue racks at the door, but there was no fire at this time.
A man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties was sitting on a plastic square stool at the door, smoking leisurely. Perhaps due to years of staying up late and working hard, the man's face was a little sallow, his hair was a lot whiter, and his crow's feet were also wrinkled.
It was so deep that Lu Shanmin judged that he only looked older, and his actual age should be around fifty years old. In the store, there was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties who was sorting various dishes. It seemed that she was a worker hired by a man.
There was a piece of white paper pasted at the door of the store, with the words "Recruiting BBQ Apprentices" crookedly written on it. Looking at the man with a vicissitudes of life on his face, he seemed to be aging prematurely. Lu Shanmin guessed that the boss himself was the BBQ person. As he got older,
After staying up late for a long time, I felt a little overwhelmed, so I thought of recruiting an apprentice to share the pressure.
As a hunter, Lu Shanmin has grilled meat all the time, including wild boar meat, wild rabbit meat, pheasant, and wild roe deer. Over the past ten years, he can be said to have practiced how to grill the meat until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
He must be extremely proficient. Even though Big Black Tou is the most ferocious hunter in Mazui Village, when it comes to barbecue skills, the entire Lushan people in Mazui Village are the well-deserved number one. According to the old magician, he has eaten countless barbecues over the decades he has traveled all over the country.
, but compared with Lu Shanmin’s barbecue, the flavor is a bit inferior, so whenever the old magician smells the aroma of barbecue, even if he risks being beaten by Lu Shanmin, he will grab a few pieces and walk away without fear of death.
After carefully observing and analyzing the situation of the other party and himself, Lu Shanmin took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the man.
"Boss," Lu Shanmin pointed to the recruitment paper, "I'm here to apply."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant raised his head and looked at the Lushan people. He was dressed in gray cloth and a pair of yellowed rubber shoes. This kind of clothing is difficult to see even in today's rural areas. He thought to himself, I don't know which remote mountain ravine this kid came from.
The poor mountain people who came out.
Throughout the ages, many celebrities have judged people by their appearance, not to mention the owner of a small barbecue restaurant. Seeing Lu Shanmin dressed in this way, he felt very dissatisfied. In the past, he would have been scolded and driven away as a beggar. Although the barbecue restaurant is only a small business,
But doing business requires a bright mind and a flexible mind in order to retain old customers and develop new customers. In his eyes, the mountain boy in front of him was obviously
Not this kind of person, this kind of mountain village man, let alone whether he can grill meat well, if he contradicts the customer with his words, how can he do business in the future?
Lu Shanmin has not seen the disgusting expression on the barbecue restaurant owner's face these days and has long been used to it.
"Boss, I know how to barbecue."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant took a puff of cigarette and said with disbelief on his face, "You look like you, and you know how to barbecue?"
Lu Shanmin nodded: "An old man who has traveled around for decades said that my barbecue is the best barbecue he has ever eaten in his life."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant looked at the people in Lushan indifferently. Over the years, he had stayed up late for a long time and his health was not as good as before. He had long wanted to recruit an apprentice to relieve the pressure. He had hired several apprentices before, but they either felt that the salary was low, or they were tired, or even more
No one who dares to steal vegetables back home can do it for long. Although the young man in front of him is a mountain villager who has just come out of the ravine, there is an air of shrewdness between his eyebrows.
Such people who have just come out of the countryside are like a blank piece of paper without too much thought, so they may be able to work for a long time.
After hesitating for a long time, although he was full of dissatisfaction, he finally made up his mind to give it a try. The man frowned and stared at Lu Shanmin, "You have such a strong tone, but you look like a young kid who just came from the countryside."
, why should I trust you?"
Seeing that the other party was a little loose, Lu Shanmin felt ecstatic and said quickly: "Boss, you can try it first. If it doesn't work, you can fire me."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time, "You look like you are also eager to find a job. Let's do this. I will be very kind and offer you one thousand during the probation period and one thousand five hundred after being regularized." After saying this, his eyes widened.
Staring at Lu Shanmin. Today's labor force is no better than before, especially in Donghai. It costs 3,000 to 5,000 yuan a month to find a small-time worker. When a middle-aged man sees Lu Shanmin, he looks like a lowly man. If the salary is more than 1,000 yuan a month,
Regardless of whether he knows how to barbecue or not, even if he hires a handyman, it is still a profitable business.
Lu Shanmin frowned and calculated silently in his mind. The rent was 5,000 yuan a month. The average cost for four people was 1,250 yuan. In addition, the living expenses would cost him an average of at least 30 yuan a day. This was not included.
As for water and electricity bills, a salary of 1,500 yuan is completely not enough to live on.
Lu Shanmin shook his head in disappointment, "The salary of 1,500 yuan is not enough for me to live on."
The middle-aged man coughed, thinking that this country boy is really hard to fool, "Huh, young people nowadays are all too ambitious and short-handed. It would be great if a country guy like you can give you a job, but you are still picky."
Pick four.”
Lu Shanmin looked at the middle-aged man, without hesitation, and prepared to turn around and leave. Lu Shanmin really needed a job, but he also understood that doing a job that could not support him was tantamount to chronic suicide, which could not be solved at all.
The question is, how can a hunter who dares to fight a blind bear turn into a reckless man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs?
"Wait a minute," the barbecue restaurant owner's voice came from behind.
Lu Shanmin turned around and looked back.
"How much do you think is appropriate? I can tell you, don't be too open-minded, I can recruit a lot of people like you at any time."
Lu Shanmin thought for a moment and said, "Two thousand and five."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this boy would ask for four or five thousand as soon as he opened his mouth. Now it seems that he is really a stupid boy from a remote village.
The man smiled and said: "The trial period is two thousand, and as long as your barbecue skills pass the test, you will become a full-time employee."
Lu Shanmin breathed a long sigh of relief, grinned and nodded, "Thank you, boss."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant stretched out his hand and tugged at Lu Shanmin's clothes with a look of disgust on his face, "Hurry up and change these clothes. Your outfit seriously affects the image of our restaurant and lowers the quality of our restaurant."
Lu Shanmin touched his head in embarrassment and smiled bitterly, "I only have these clothes and shoes."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "No money to buy clothes?"
Lu Shanmin nodded awkwardly.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, "Where did you come from? There are people like you in this world."
"Wait for me here." The middle-aged man turned around and entered the store, and soon walked out with a slightly worn black T-shirt, a pair of worn jeans and a pair of old white sneakers in his hand.
"These are my son's clothes."
Lu Shanmin took the clothes and looked at the owner of the barbecue restaurant blankly, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.
The middle-aged man walked into the store and said calmly to Lu Shanmin behind him: "This suit costs 500 yuan, which will be deducted from your salary."
Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, looked at the clothes in his hand, and suddenly felt a little heavy, and the emotion that had just poured out immediately disappeared.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant said calmly: "Don't talk too much about the boss. You look about the same age as my son. My name is Lin Dahai. You can call me Uncle Hai from now on."
"Uncle Hai".
"Your future job is to go to the vegetable market to buy groceries according to my list in the morning, give you half a day to rest in the afternoon, and go to work at 7pm until 3am. Even though our area is a civilian area, there are three restaurants not far from us.
There is a bar, and there is a university at the entrance of the alley, and there are many customers late at night.”
Then he called over the middle-aged woman who was washing vegetables.
"This is Sister Wang."
Lu Shanmin smiled at the middle-aged woman and said, "Hello, Sister Wang, my name is Lu Shanmin."
Sister Wang looked Lu Shanmin up and down and said with a smile: "The young man looks quite energetic."
Lin Dahai continued: "Sister Wang has a rest in the morning, and starts working in the store in the afternoon. She is responsible for washing and picking up vegetables, and in the evening she is responsible for ordering and delivering food. From now on, you will follow me to bake vegetables in the evening. Let me make it clear to you first.
I can take you with me first. If you still can’t barbecue by yourself after a month, just pack up your bed and get out of here.”
Lu Shanmin nodded: "Uncle Hai, don't worry, I will learn from you seriously."
Lin Dahai looked at the time and saw that it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon. "You go back and change your clothes first, and report here on time at six-thirty." After saying that, he walked outside and continued to sit at the door and smoke leisurely.
Sister Wang glanced at Lin Dahai outside the door and asked Lu Shanmin in a low voice, "Young man, how much salary will stingy Boss Lin offer you?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Two thousand and five."
Sister Wang held her mouth and shook her head, "He is indeed a tough guy, Lin Papi, and his heart is quite dark."
